Blind Willie McTell - Dark Night Blues lyrics

rate me

I got the dark night blues<br />

I'm feeling awful bad<br />

I got the dark night blues<br />

Mama, I'm feeling awful bad<br />

That's the worst ol' feeling<br />

That a good man have ever had<br />

<br />

I followed my brown<br />

From the depot to the train<br />

I followed my fair brown<br />

From the depot to the train<br />

And the blues came down<br />

Like dark night showers o' rain<br />

<br />

I drink so much whiskey<br />

I stagger when I'm sleep<br />

Drink so much whiskey<br />

I stagger when I'm sleep<br />

My brains are dark and cloudy<br />

My mind's gone to my feet<br />

<br />

I got the blues so bad<br />

I can feel them in the dark<br />

I got the blues so bad<br />

I can feel them in the dark<br />

And one dark and dreary morning<br />

Baby, when you broke my heart<br />

<br />

I got a fair brown in Atlanta<br />

Got one in Macon too<br />

I got a fair brown in Atlanta<br />

Got one in Macon too<br />

I got one in Statesboro<br />

Give me them old dark night blues<br />

<br />

Everything I told you<br />

Went and told your outside man<br />

Everything I told you<br />

Mama, you went and told your outside man<br />

But I want to tell you something<br />

Your good man can't stand<br />

<br />

Riding the PNP Special<br />

Mama, and I'm leaving this town<br />

Riding the PNP Special<br />

Baby, and I'm leaving this town<br />

Say you didn't want me<br />

I'ma quit hanging around
